  • Distinguishing “Religion”. Variants of Differentiation and the Emergence of “Religion” as a Global Category in Modern Asia

    Armin Hermann, Adrian HermannARTICLESoziale Systeme2021

Until recently, such debates had not paid much attention to the “translingual practice” (Liu) that has produced “religion” as a global…

    Leslie Dorrough Smith, Steffen Führding et al.BOOKHijacked2020

    Public inquiry into religion is guided by unspoken value judgments which are the products of rarely-discussed political interests.

  • Global religious organizations

    Armin Hermann, Adrian HermannCHAPTERRoutledge Handbook of Transregional…2018

    This chapter explores the existing theoretical literature on (global) religious organizations and discusses some historical and contemporary examples from four periods of globalization.

  • Museality as a Matrix of the Production, Reception, and Circulation of Knowledge Concerning Religion

    Katja Triplett, Alexandra Grieser et al.ARTICLEJournal of Religion in Europe2011

    Aesthetics of religion focuses on the sensual and representational aspects of religion and develops appropriate terminological tools. The idea of museality as an analytical and heuristic term for culture analysis is specified in the present paper by linking it to the history and dynamics of knowledge. Museums as institutions and cultural practice play a crucial role in the orders and politics of knowledge about religion in Europe. By means of dif…
